Al-Qaeda urges suicide attacks in Somalia


>From correspondents in Dubai

OSAMA bin Laden's top aide has urged Somali Islamists to launch an
Iraq-style guerrilla campaign of suicide and other forms of attacks against
Ethiopian forces in Somalia.

Ayman al-Zawahri put out the call in an audio tape posted on the internet
today. 

"As happened in Iraq and Afghanistan, when the world's strongest power was
defeated by the campaigns of the mujahideen troops going to heaven, so its
slaves shall be defeated on the Muslim lands of Somalia," al-Zawahri said. 

"You must ambush, mine, raid and (carry out) martryrdom campaigns so that
you can wipe them out," said Zawahri, al-Qaeda's deputy leader. 

The tape was posted on a web site used by Islamist militants and
al-Qaeda-linked groups. 
Ethiopian forces helped Somalia's interim government rout Islamists in a
two-week war. 

The Somalia Islamic Courts Council, which had imposed sharia law across much
of the south, abandoned the capital Mogadishu last week in the face of the
advancing Ethiopian and government forces.
